Their ancestors where the original occupants of an ancient Igbo Kingdom called Ama-mpoto which existed within the Nkanal Ikot or Okoro Nkon Ikpe zone of the present Ibibio or Efik land in present-day Akwa Ibom state.

They both respected their friendship and enjoying peace until Iwoo died and his son Aja who was young and full of youthful exuberance succeeded his father.

Nkporo people are war-like in nature and this also did not allow the young Aja to sustain the cordial relationship that existed between them and the Ibibios in his late father's years.

They lived here for a very long time before moving to Ugwu Iyi Ekirika which is around the present Nde Okpo Ihechiowa, where it is believed that a group that still calls itself Nkporo was left behind.

From there they continued to Ugwu Isiagha located between Ihechiowa and the present Nde Uduma Awoke village from were they moved out again and established a place called Udara Ebuo.
